Aims: Efficient siRNA/drug codelivery carriers can offer great promises to cancer treatment on account of synergistic effect provided from cancer-associated gene and anticancer drugs. In this work, a redox-responsive ...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) have been widely used as drug carriers for stimuli-responsive drug delivery. Herein, a catalysis screening technique was adopted for analyzing the effects of chain length, terminal ...

A novel strategy for the synthesis of microporous crystalline titanosilicate catalyst (TS-1) was developed based on the combination of liquid-phase and solid-phase transformation mechanisms. The core concept of this strategy ...

Growth of mesoporous silica on both sides of graphene oxide affords a nano-sandwich (NS) material. A two-photon active dye is then loaded into the mesopores of the NS followed by sealing with poly(acrylic acid). The obtained ...

Mn3O4 nanomaterials with different morphologies (sphere, nanowire, and octahedron) embedded into functionalized nanoporous polymers were developed by a facile one-pot solvothermal technique at different temperatures. These ...

A new chemodosimeter based on pyridinium-fused pyridinone iodide (PI) has been obtained through a “clean reaction” method. This compound can detect CN− in aqueous solution with a high selectivity and rapid response. The ...

Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have been developed for applications in biotechnology and therapeutics. There is great potential in the development of chemically modified PNAs or other triplex-forming ligands that selectively ...
